very good video
watch it complete and listen very good at 8:30min, 15min & 20min, also just the whole video^^
The gnostics had this thing
they were of an understanding of this aspect of things
so the gnostics had this idea, that there are no final prophets, there is no only begotten son
that rather we are in a reality where revealing is happening always, there are many revealatorS and that we live within the revealation, NOW
and that revealing happens every generation and that the revelations provided are valid from that generation going forward
so in other words, they are saying that there is a mechanism within the materium for providing revealed knowledge on a pretty much continuous basis
at its core that is a lot of the stuff that the gnostics were putting out
and of course it is not cohabitationally friendly with most religions who have a hard edge on the revelator they happen to worship
the gnostics had practices
I dont know that it would be appropiate for us to describe them in our terms from an judaistic, christian, mohammedan or buddhist framework
gnostics were hunted down and killed by christians, after the council of nizea and constantinople consolidated christianity as the official religion of the roman empire and later on of the byzantine empire
they were really pissed of the gnostics
revealators are also known as rishi in bramanism and that part of the world and indian subcontinent
that's the same idea, that there are rishi constantly in every generation provided there by universe and that these people know shit
they are just born that way
the gnostics understand that the life of a revealator can be brutally short, cut off, just like that
because of running into the problem with the religions and the fact that the gnostics knew, they were the third alternative
because they were not a religion, they were not an encapsulation, they were not a claim to a definitive state of being, of having been revealed
all religions are dead in the sense they've been revealed
and that's it
you can't have any more new revealations about christ
you cant have any more new revealations about mohammedism, islam - and in fact they get REALLY pissed if you do anything to alter the concept as they see it at the moment of their iconic figure
and that's just how religion works
so the gnostics are no religion
they understand that there is this "spirituality"/ki/chi force/ prana/ numinous movement/ breath - so all these words about this
the gnostics understand that we are in this constant new state of being and at any moment there will be new revealations based on ur generation and what's going on and so on
and this is just a mechanism of the universe
unfortunately from the gnostic viewpoint, the third alternative viewpoint, some people get hooked up in religion or dominant materialism and they just think it is like a done deal
as opposed to manifestation
so the gnostics see that we are in a continuous creation
there will be new revealings and new shit will happen
and that's the cool part
now it's also part of the war here
there are people that dont like that thought
they dont like people thinking that way
Universe provides and guides my eyes to see, my voice to say
how wondrous is each day
and truly each and every day is wondrous and magnificent
and youre in control of that attitude
that's another thing about gnosticism
you can't really oppress a gnostic for long - and that's why they have to kill 'em - because of that fucking attitude
that each day, no matter the suffering, no matter the terrible things that may happen, is part of the revealing and is thus wondrous
and in each day is indeed something to say, how wondrous is this day
very cool video, very cool old grandpa - looking forward to more :)
